  • Page 5: Deciding On Component Locations

    deciding on component locations locations for the siren Some things to remember when mounting the siren: I Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all things to avoid. I Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its wires should be difficult to find.
  • Page 6: Valet /Program Switch

    I The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will suffer. I Some good control module locations: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the underdash fuse box, above the radio, etc.

    locations for the status LED Things to remember when positioning the Status LED: I It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible. I It needs at least -inch clearance to the rear. I It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling your -inch hole.
  • Page 8: Finding The Wires You Need

    finding the wires you need Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car that the security system will be connected to. IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light to find these wires! All testing described in this manual is described using a digital multimeter.
  • Page 9: Parking Light Wire

    4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire. 5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than a few tenths of a volt.
  • Page 10: Starter Wire

    How to find a door pin switch trigger wire with your multimeter: 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. In most cars, fasten the (+) probe of your meter to (+)12V constant. 3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door is opened, you have found a trigger wire.
  • Page 11: Making Your Connections

    making your connections When connecting the security system’s wires to the wires in the vehicle it is important that the connections are tight and no bare wire is exposed. In this section, two types of connections are described that may be used to connect the wires from the security system into the vehicle’s wiring.

    H1/4 BLACK/WHITE 200 mA (-) domelight supervision output Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown below: IMPORTANT! This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly to the domelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more bulbs. H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits.
  • Page 17: H1/7

    H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit . Connect the violet wire to a wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection Connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw.
  • Page 18: H1/9

    H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input Connect this wire to the (+)12V ignition wire. This wire must show (+)12V with the key in Run position and during cranking. Take care to insure that this wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point. H1/10 BROWN (+) siren output Connect this to the red wire of the siren.

    IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transis- torized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail. harness 2 (H2), (+/-) door lock outputs ______ H2/A...
  • Page 20: Door Lock Harness (H2) Wire Connection Guide

    door lock harness (H2) wire connection guide type A: (+) 12V pulses from the switch to the factory relays The system can control a Type A system directly, with no additional parts. The switch will have three wires on it, and one will test (+)12V constantly. The others will alternately pulse (+)12V when the switch is pressed to the lock or unlock position.
  • Page 21: Negative-Triggered, Relay Driven Systems (Type B)

    type B: (-) pulses from the switch to the factory relays This system is common in many Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Saturn models, as well as Fords with the keyless- entry system (some other Fords also use Type B). The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch unlocks the doors.
  • Page 22: Reversing Polarity (Type C)

    type C: reversing polarity Interfacing with a reversing polarity system requires either two relays or one 451M (not included). It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface properly. Locate wires that show voltage on lock and unlock. Cut one of the suspect wires and check operation of the locks from both switches.
  • Page 23: After-Market Actuators (Type D)

    type D: after-market actuators In order for this system to control one or more after-market actuators, a 451M or two relays (optional) are needed. Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock actuator inside the door.
  • Page 24: Electrically Activated Vacuum (Type E)

    type E: mercedes-benz and audi (1985 & newer) Door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Some Mercedes and Audi models use a Type D system. Test by locking doors from the passenger key cylinder. If all the doors lock, the vehicle's door lock system can be controlled with just two relays (optional).
  • Page 25: One-Wire System, (Type F)

    type F: one-wire system This system usually requires a negative pulse to unlock, and cutting the wire to lock the door. In some vehicles, these are reversed. It is found in late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992-up. It is also found in some Mazda MPV's and some Mitsubishi's.
  • Page 26: On-Board Doubleguard Shock Sensor

    on-board doubleguard shock sensor There is a Doubleguard ® shock sensor inside the control unit. Adjustments are made via the rotary control as indi- cated above. Since the shock sensor does not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recommend against screwing down the control module.
